Hosma PACKAGE Application leil August 21, ,1929. Serial No. 387,315.

' The object-of my invention is to provide a package which will displayhosiery or any other suitable article, in a desirable and attractivemanner, completely protect thesame,

and facilitate record keeping, so that it is easy for a customer toduplicate orders by mail. These and other objects are accomplished by myinvention, one embodiment of which is hereinafter set forth. i,

For a more particular description of my invention, reference is to behad to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which Figure1 is a View showing the outside of the blank;

. Figure 2 is a corresponding View, in reverse, showing the inside ofthe blank; l

Figure 3 shows theyblank with an article,

preferably hosiery, about. to be enclosed therein; y Figure 4 is a lon'tudinal section of my im roved blank, with glassine paper attac ed;

Figure 5 shows the samepartially foldedabout a package of hosiery; and

Figures 6 and 7 are bottom and top views, respectively, of the completearticle, showing the blank completely folded about an inner package ofhosiery.

Throughout the various views, similar reference characters designatesimilar parts.

My improved package 1 has a cover 2 which is composed of a blank whichwill be described below, an inner package cover partially encasing anarticle and preferably made of a translucent material, such as glassinepaper, designated generically by the character 3, and an article ofhosiery or any other suitable thing 4, which is inside the other twocovers, and visible through a stocking shaped opening 5 in the blank 2.The blank 2 is also provided with a record tab 6 and a return post card7 in a flap 8 as well as other flaps which fold so as to secure thepackage in a manner described below.`

The article 4 is preferably made intoa form suitable for the blank 2,and for convenience, ahosiery-package will be described as C3 this isthe preferred embodiment of my insires to re vention, although it may beembodied in any suitable way.

This hosiery is folded into substantially rectangular form' as indicatedin Figure 3 and placed on glassine paper 3 which is se- 55 cured to theouter cover or blank 2 in any suitable manner and opposite the opening5. This glassine paper is then folded to the position indicated by thedotted lines in Figure 3. Thereafter an end flap 8 carrying the return60 post card 7 is folded over the hosiery 4. Thereafter the side aps 9and 10 are folded over. Each of these aps has a diagonally disposed slot11 adapted to receive a tab l2 as described below. The flap 10 carriesthe 65 stub 6 on which a record of the sale is kept. The name andaddress of the purchaser is on one side as indicated at 13 and thecolor, style, size, store and clerks name appear on the opposite side at14, after the blank has been filled out. This stub keeps a perfectrecord of the transaction and enables the house selling the goods tofill repeat orders which may be sent 1n on the post card 7 Where theface 15 has the address and the back 16 has data 75 with regard tovarious kinds of stockings which may be ordered and a blank for the nameand address of the person sending the order. After the side flap 9 hasfirst been folded over and then the side flap 10, the end 80 flap 17 isfolded over and these tabs 12 put in the slots 11 leaving anintermediatetab 18 which may be asped by fingers when the packageis opener In viewofthe foregoing, the use of my ima5 proved package will be readilyunderstood. Hosiery is placed, stored and displayed throng the glassinepaper 3 and the openin 5. The package is a neat and small one an easilymanipulated. Once the sale is made, ne the tab 6 is torn from the blank2 at the line 19 after a complete record has been made of the sale. Thepackage is then delivered to the customer along with as many others ashave been bou ht. When the customer deat t e order, she tears out thepost card at t e dotted line 20 and fills out the card as. shey desiresand mails the same and thereafter receives the ds C. O. D. and

-pays for them, so that 1t is easy for her to 10o duplicate orders, andthe tabs 6 are always available so as to furnish the house selling thegoods with full information as to what the' 'purchaser has actually'bought. These tabs may be useful because they give the names andaddresses of good prospects who may be reached by advertisements om'timeto time with a view to stimulating business.

While I have shown and described one embodiment of my invention, it isobvious that it is not restricted thereto,-`but that itis broad enoughto` cover all structures that come within the scope of the lannexedclaims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

v1. A blank for display purposes having a main' body portion, side andend flaps, each vof said side flaps having a slit therein, one of saidend flaps being substantially of the same area as said body portion soas to entirely cover the back of said display blank when folded andtongues upon said last mentioned end iap adapted to be inserted in saidslits in said side flaps When said blank is in folded conditionenclosing an article.

3. A blank for display purposes comprising a main body portion, side andend flaps upon said body portion, means integral with I my hand this15th day one of-said end flaps and both of said side. iaps formaintaining 'the blank in folded condition when enclosing an article andthe other end flap having a weakened line ex-` tending therethroughthereby deining an order card and a space for additional indicia.

4.
